Frank JAMES Halesowen & Canada

[dbree]

You're welcome 

Elsie so far is elusive.

The two daughters,
L. born Jan. 4, 1928, daughter of Frank James, and Elsie Fish. Elsie signed, witness Elizabeth Cowdry

M.A. born July 21, 1930, daughter of Frank James, of 5501-ninth Ave. Rosemount and Elsie Fish,
both signed, witness Annie Whelan.

You had mentioned they had 4 children, so I'm going to assume you know their names.
Sandra I've PM'd those names to you.

Hi,

The witness on daughter M.A.'s birth, Annie Whelan I think is Elsie's sister.

Pendleton, England, now of Montreal, and Annie Fish, spinster, daughter of William Henry Fish
and his wife Sarah.

I was hoping Annie's obit might mention Elsie, but no luck.

There is an Elsie Maud James in the same cemetery (5th March 1973) as Annie - can't see anything giving Elsie a middle name. Nothing on Voters List.

Hi,

Just checked the Montreal Gazette for Elsie Maud, she was nee Dumble.

Back to the drawing board.

Last sighting 1945 - could have remarried I suppose
